‘Where are my followers?’ asks President

ADVICE Child on game YOUNG children should spend no more than an hour a day sitting in front of a TV or mobile device, health experts say.

New World Health Organisati­on guidelines also warn infants in their first year should have no “sedentary screen time”.

The report said: “Physical inactivity has been identified as a leading risk factor for global mortality.”

It contradict­s UK guidelines which do not put a cap on total screen time.

The new advice will be presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Glasgow on Sunday.

Prof Andrew Przybylski, of Oxford University, said: “Increasing physical activity, sleep and health are important goals and it is possible screens impact young people in a wide range of ways.” DONALD Trump used a high-level summit at the White House with Twitter boss Jack Dorsey to moan about losing followers.

During a closed-door sit-down with the social media site’s CEO, the President focused on why his numbers were diminishin­g.

The meeting came as Mr Trump continues to attack the tech industry, threatenin­g to regulate Facebook, Google and Twitter out of concern they are censoring his supporters online. The firms fiercely deny his claim.

Just hours before the President met Mr Barack Obama Dorsey on Tuesday he accused Twitter of playing “political games” and tampering with his 53.4 million followers. Nicknamed the Commander-in-Tweet due to his prolific posts, Mr Trump lost 204,000 followers in July.

A large portion of the meeting focused on his concerns that Twitter deliberate­ly limited or removed some of his followers.

Mr Dorsey explained that the firm was working to remove fraudulent and spam accounts and that many famous people, including himself, had lost followers as a result. Johnson Jack Dorsey DONALD TRUMP TWEET REPEATING CLAIMS MADE BY LARRY JOHNSON

Former CIA analyst accuses UK of helping Obama administra­tion spy on Trump

the first time GCHQ has been accused of spying on Mr Trump.

Two years ago the White House apologised after spokesman Sean Spicer repeated the allegation­s made in the US press, sparking a furious UK denial.

Mr Trump’s claims come as he prepares to visit Britain on June 3 for three days.

But No10 insisted the spying claims will not “sour” the trip. Theresa May’s spokesman said: “A state visit is an opportunit­y to strengthen our ties.”

More than 50 MPs have demanded the visit be axed to save taxpayers’ money.

Meanwhile, the PM risked a row with Mr Trump after she backed Chinese mobile phone firm Huawei to provide key parts of Britain’s new 5G network.

She overruled ministers who fear Beijing could make the company install technology allowing it to spy on the UK.

America, along with Australia and New Zealand, has banned Huawei from providing parts of their 5G networks and is urging other countries to do the same.

But Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss said: “We shouldn’t be deciding on the basis of what the Americans think.”

No10 refused to confirm if the firm’s bid has been approved.

Huawei insists it would never provide informatio­n to the Chinese government.
